“If you had to try things out and read things and find out the truth about things, then you’d never have time to have an opinion about anything.”
― Fredrik Backman, Anxious People

“The principle here is that a new generation owes a measure of thanks to every member of the previous generation. Our elders planted fields and fought in wars; they advanced the arts and sciences, and generally made sacrifices on our behalf. So by their efforts, however humble, they have earned a measure of our gratitude and respect.”
― Amor Towles, A Gentleman in Moscow
